4 GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE POWER SUPPLY

This chapter will help the user new to pro

g

rammable power supplies.

4.1 INITIAL SETUP OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY

4.1.1 Power up routine

WARNING: Before you turn on your power supply, make sure that the

power input volta

g

e matches the power volta

g

e specifications

on the decal on the rear of your power supply. Refer to section

3.4.2 "Installation" for instructions on how to check this.

Turn the power on by pressin

g

the switch at the rear. The power

supply performs a series of self tests that last about 5 seconds.

Normal self test indications

After the power supply has executed the self tests, all characters and

annunciators will be displayed, followed by the messa

g

e INITIALIZING. At the

end of the self tests, the supply is in the standby mode (STANDBY displayed) or

in the operate mode (actual volta

g

e and current displayed).

Self test errors

If a power-on self test fails, all output channels will remain disabled, and the

display will indicate the type of failure and the output channel on which it occurred.

If this is the case, refer to section 3.6 "Acceptance tests".
